DISCLOSURE

FULL TRANSCRIPT TEXT

02:34
welcome in everyone how is everyone
02:36
doing I hope everyone is doing well it
02:39
is Monday night Monday night which means
02:42
we’ve been we’ve had to endure the long
02:45
weekend but we are here and we’re ready
02:48
to talk about what’s been going on in
02:49
the news what’s been going on in the
02:51
world and uh and and obviously our
02:53
discussion for Friday night I promised
02:55
you guys a discussion about convention
02:57
estates and I failed to provide that for
02:59
you guys so today today we will have
03:02
that conversation we’ll front-loaded
03:04
actually we’re gonna front-load that
03:05
conversation to make sure that you guys
03:06
get that one because I think it’s it’s
03:08
very important it’s one of those
03:09
discussions that whether you’re on the
03:11
left the right
03:13
libertarian wherever you are I think
03:15
that everyone has their different point
03:18
of view on this and I think that
03:19
certainly is its with the recent events
03:22
here in South Carolina where that’s been
03:24
passed at our GOP state convention which
03:28
if you guys are not familiar South
03:29
Carolina is ran by the Democrats with
03:31
the artist next to their names the big
03:33
guys the big government fellows those
03:36
advocating for more taxes and whatnot so
03:38
they passed that through the GOP
03:40
convention the party and expected to see
03:45
that coming up for for the actual for
03:50
the actual members there in Congress to
03:54
discuss about getting involved with the
03:56
article five convention of the states so
03:59
everybody always wonders what’s our to
04:01
you on Jason how do you feel about the
04:05
idea of the convention of states and I
04:09
am NOT somebody that believes that if
04:12
article 6 cannot be followed that
04:13
article 5 will somehow make article 6 be
04:16
followed a bit a bunch of the big
04:18
stances that are being taken by the
04:20
convention the states those who are
04:22
advocating for it there’s really two big
04:25
ones and a third one that’s really not a
04:26
not a big issue not a big topic that I
04:29
think is going to really get ground it’s
04:31
kind of a vague stance but the first –
04:35
the first one is term limits for
04:37
Congress we’ve seen this be pushed
04:38
through a couple of states and that’s
04:40
been
04:43
to say that the results of benefit of
04:45
that state would I believe would be
04:47
dishonest we’ve seen this in Colorado as
04:49
well as a Michigan we’re pushing term
04:52
limits what that has done is that is
04:54
made its where you have a much younger
04:55
crowd of people there in Congress
04:58
pushing laws pushing legislation and
05:00
running through without having
05:02
experience there it’s been a little bit
05:04
more chaotic a little bit less a little
05:09
bit less trustworthy in the way that
05:12
legislation is being pushed through it
05:13
also means that you’re not your ID for
05:19
kissies your your bureaucrats are gonna
05:21
have a little more influence they’re
05:22
gonna be able to guide these Congress
05:24
people through and certainly me as a
05:26
small limited government person the
05:29
smaller the better the more limited the
05:31
better I don’t think that giving people
05:34
who are unelected more power through
05:37
through the guise of limiting the
05:40
government through term limits
05:41
necessarily will be providing that also
05:44
I want to make sure that it’s clear that
05:45
and you guys are more than welcome to
05:48
dispute this but the idea of term limits
05:51
is actually is just limiting the voter
05:53
themselves this is limiting you the
05:55
individual you the Constituent because
05:57
when you look at this let’s say find
06:00
your idol find that one member of
06:03
Congress that you enjoy that you like
06:05
that stands on the most platforms that
06:08
you agree with and that you support now
06:12
understand how many other members of
06:15
Congress have come and gone that you do
06:18
not agree with you would realize that
06:20
you are in the vast vast vast minority
06:22
of members of Congress so you’re willing
06:26
to sacrifice your good guy in hopes that
06:29
more of your good guys are come along
06:31
later and I don’t think that necessarily
06:33
that that is a very logical or well
06:36
thought out idea so you’re gonna be
06:38
hurting yourself you’re gonna be
06:39
limiting your vote on who you can vote
06:41
for will have the same limitations that
06:42
we do for for the presidency and so I I
06:45
don’t think that the term limits
06:47
necessarily will be a good thing
06:49
now the second stance is taken for
06:51
convention of states the second stay
06:53
stands is a balanced budget now balance
06:56
just sounds great right you have your
06:58
revenue and you have your spending and
06:59
they have to be pretty close if not you
07:01
have you have your revenue a little bit
07:03
higher than your spending now if we just
07:04
say look you have to have a balanced
07:06
budget what does that mean does that
07:08
mean that we have to cut the spending
07:09
down to revenue does that mean that we
07:11
have to increase the revenue to the
07:13
spending doesn’t mean we’ll probably
07:14
find a middle ground in the middle of
07:16
course it’s it’s probably the latter if
07:19
not just grow the revenue outright
07:22
expecting that we’re gonna somehow
07:24
implement new amendments to the
07:26
Constitution that it will somehow just
07:30
draw back the government and not
07:31
actually enable it to grow further I
07:33
think that that’s where we get into the
07:34
wishful thinking we get into the hopes
07:36
and dreams of things and not necessarily
07:39
getting to where what trend has been set
07:43
by government in the past and that is
07:45
that it grows and it grows and grows and
07:47
it never does shrink and if it does
07:49
shrink it it’s by a fraction of what is
07:52
what was grown you’ll see this from
07:55
actually from good auctioneers if you go
07:58
down to to any auctioneering place they
08:00
put a high bid out there and then they
08:03
bring it down lower and then it comes
08:04
back up right you never you never get
08:06
back down to that zero and in certainly
08:08
right auctioneers never want to give it
08:10
to zero they want to make money in the
08:12
same way that the government does it
08:13
wants to gain power wants a continued
08:15
growing power because if you don’t if
08:17
the government doesn’t have that power
08:19
if it doesn’t have that control over the
08:21
markets over healthcare over your
08:23
personal lives over your vehicles over
08:26
the economy whatever it is if it doesn’t
08:29
have that control over it it’s not a
08:31
necessary being on that and then they
08:34
themselves are less appreciated now
08:37
everyone of course wants to feel
08:38
appreciated
08:40
whether you’re a podcast host whether
08:43
you’re a TV show star or whether you’re
08:46
just the average Joe working in your
08:48
business you it feels good to be
08:50
appreciated if it’s for the work that
08:52
you’ve been doing and so certainly it’s
08:55
well understood as to why government
08:57
wants to be within that so when we talk
09:00
about the second point of the convention
09:03
of states and that is to to balance the
09:06
budget it’s not specific it’s not
09:09
controlling
09:10
not limiting it it’s just allowing the
09:12
government to or it’s just forcing the
09:13
government to balance these budgets and
09:16
really at the end of the day what we
09:18
could see is Bernie Sanders comes in
09:20
Bernie Sanders comes along gets elected
09:22
president United States and he whips
09:24
Congress in the shape and Congress is
09:26
now all right we gotta get a balanced
09:29
revenue in here we gotta get balanced
09:31
budget in here and so what we do is
09:35
we’ll have to top marginal rates
09:37
eighty-three percent and then that’s not
09:40
enough and so he goes further down the
09:42
line now the middle class is being taxed
09:44
at 80 percent in order to make sure that
09:46
the revenue stays neutral and spending
09:49
remain somewhat neutral that doesn’t
09:54
sound like that amendment really is
09:55
gonna be getting the end results that we
09:57
want to so both of those really I can
10:01
understand the intent for them I don’t
10:03
agree with the implementation for them
10:04
in sorry I’m certainly not one that that
10:08
agrees with the convention of states
10:09
idea it was in I think objectively
10:13
looking at the way South Carolina did it
10:15
through the GOP party platform I think
10:18
it was really rammed down there was a it
10:20
was a vocal voice it was a vocal count
10:23
not a vocal count but it was just a
10:25
vocal boat there was no counting
10:27
involved and so it was really pushed
10:29
through there’s a lot of people set up
10:31
on both sides that wanted to discuss the
10:32
matter both for and against they both
10:35
were silenced by the by the chairman
10:37
there at the state and and and I think
10:40
that that really does give credence to
10:43
the idea that the convention of states
10:45
can kind of do as they want to do if
10:48
they can implement it on how they want
10:51
to then at the same time then the way
10:53
that they’re gonna be pushing the
10:55
legislation would be along the same
10:57
lines as well as another big point with
11:00
this of the runaway convention idea is
11:02
that who appoints the delegates or
11:06
talking at the convention of states well
11:08
it would be none other than your Senate
11:10
leader of your state so ours is Hugh
11:14
Leatherman Hugh Leatherman has been
11:15
known to be a corrupt individual he’s a
11:17
guy that likes to to fill up his pockets
11:19
he likes to to redistribute the wealth
11:22
of the state back into his
11:23
County of Florence County South Carolina
11:25
he likes to do a lot of things that are
11:28
quite unethical and an unbecoming of the
11:32
position of which he resides in and so
11:36
with all of that understanding why would
11:39
I want to give him more power to be able
11:42
to push for changes on the National
11:47
Constitution III just every time I look
11:51
at this convention of states and and
11:53
certainly there’s plenty of limited
11:54
government people out there that believe
11:55
in it
11:56
I just I look at it and I think it’s a
11:58
good intention it’s a good premise it’s
12:01
a good idea but the but the but the
12:03
truth of it all the path that you take
12:05
is not going to be to a betterment of
12:07
America and it’s certainly not going to
12:09
a betterment of the Constitution and so
12:11
I hope I’ve given you guys a wide enough
12:15
picture on this I hope that I’ve given
12:17
you guys a decent enough discussion on
12:21

guys all once again for being here we do

have quite a few topics that I want to

get through tonight the first one is one
15:18
that hits really home for me as I lose
15:21
my headphones one that really hits home
15:24
for me and that is this Virginia Beach
15:28
shooting now you guys may think oh he’s
15:31
not from Virginia and I agree I’m not
15:33
from Virginia I’m not from Virginia
15:34
Beach I’m I spent only hours in Virginia
15:37
and that’s just a drive through this
15:39
place I’m not a huge fan of Virginia but
15:43
we will get to why this hits home for me
15:46
here in a little bit so if you guys had
15:48
missed in the news on Friday night
15:56
on Friday night on in Virginia Beach at
15:59
one of the municipal buildings the
16:02
Virginia Beach Municipal Center there
16:05
was a gunman who went through all three
16:08
floors of this building and managed to
16:11
shoot 12 people of course every time
16:15
that there’s a killing of course every
16:17
killing that is done not in self-defense
16:20
defense of oneself or once you know
16:24
without having that threat of course
16:26
these are our destructive disgusting and
16:29
need to be denounced wholeheartedly he
16:33
went through and was shooting with a 45
16:36
caliber handgun
16:39
so you ar-15 gun grabbers I’m sorry you
16:42
got to sit this one out you don’t get to
16:44
talk on this one the individual the
16:47
shooter who shall not be named of course
16:50
the shooter was not a white person so
16:53
therefore you know the left you have to
16:55
sit this one out as well
16:56
so gun grabbers the left synonymous in
16:59
many cases sit this one out this one’s
17:01
not for you
17:04
he came through and he shot up the place
17:06
after providing his two-week notice that
17:09
morning
17:09
now his two-week notice finally was
17:11
released out to the public I want to
17:13
officially put in my two weeks notice to
17:15
vacate my position as engineer 3 with
17:17
the city of Virginia Beach it has been
17:19
my pleasure to serve the city but due to
17:21
personal reasons I must relieve my
17:23
position so far this is the only
17:26
understanding of why the shooting has
17:27
gone on it is a big giant aura of
17:30
mystery sitting around this much like
17:33
what we saw with the Las Vegas shooter
17:36
now if you guys remember all the way
17:38
back to the Las Vegas shooter from last
17:40
October maybe sorry to October’s ago you
17:44
would recall that there was a specific
17:46
tweet from Hillary Clinton there was a
17:49
specific tweet from Hillary Clinton that
17:51
I spoke about because it really showed
17:55
the level of fear-mongering that is that
17:59
is sought to be used in order to
18:02
diminish the value of of gun rights her
18:06
tweet after that atrocious killing of I
18:10
believe it was fifty eight individuals
18:11
killed there at the the concert was now
18:16
imagine if he had a suppressor
18:22
imagine if he had a suppressor now this
18:25
shows that once again that the left
18:27
Hillary Clinton I’m going to attribute
18:29
her to left because she definitely is
18:32
the left has no understanding of
18:34
firearms the left has no understanding
18:36
of firearm accessories
18:40
I work with firearms and firearm
18:44
accessories so I might know a thing or
18:46
two about suppressors themselves
18:48
especially since that’s
18:51
but I work with
18:53
now when it comes to a suppressor a
18:55
suppressor does not make a weapon any
18:57
more lethal it does not enhance the gun
19:00
in any way that makes it more
19:03
destructive that makes it more damaging
19:06
that makes it more intimidating that
19:08
does anything other than quiet by a
19:11
couple by ten twenty maybe if you’ve got
19:15
a really good suppressor 30 decibels now
19:18
that’s not a lot of noise when you look
19:20
at the fact that a firearm a naked
19:23
firearm can you know can range from
19:25
anywhere from like a twenty-two where I
19:27
believe it’s about a hundred and twenty
19:29
decibels to 130 decibels so it will
19:31
cause permanent hearing damage if you
19:33
fired enough next to your ear all the
19:37
way up to you know one of the heavier
19:38
calibers where you’re pushing 150 160
19:41
170 decibels
19:45
reduce that by 20 to 30 decibels you’re
19:49
still with the exception of the 22 still
19:54
within the need for hearing protection
19:57
but it will as what we’ve seen from from
20:00
attempts from some Republicans and the
20:03
attempts from gun advocates and for
20:06
those who work with suppressors to
20:08
understand that suppressors are there
20:10
for hearing protection which is why we
20:12
have seen many many bills coming out in
20:17
an attempt to push for hearing
20:20
conservation acts to make it easier for
20:24
one to obtain a suppressor now I want
20:29
you guys to think about maybe you guys
20:31
aren’t informed on this and so I want to
20:33
provide this with you guys
20:34
the way that you obtain a firearm here
20:37
in the United States you can go and you
20:39
can collect them through private sales
20:41
and private sales of course if it’s
20:43
private a private and it’s not like a
20:44
normal business then it’s not illegal in
20:46
order to sell so you can just sell
20:48
pretty well out right
20:51
not a very smart decision just to sell
20:54
guns in that way but you are more than
20:56
free to do so the the Second Amendment
20:58
in the Fourth Amendment really protect
21:00
that but if you go and you buy it from a
21:03
dealer you go in you fill out some
21:06
paperwork you you basically give them
21:09
permission to do a background screening
21:11
on you to look into your history a
21:13
little bit to understand who you are to
21:15
see if you’ve got a criminal record to
21:17
see what you’ve been involved with if
21:18
you’re gonna be a trustworthy person
21:20
with a firearm and then within the next
21:22
say three days you’re able to go and
21:24
pick up your firearm when it comes to
21:27
suppressors
21:30
when it comes to suppressors the thing
21:32
that doesn’t make it any more lethal the
21:34
thing that doesn’t make it any more
21:35
scary
21:38
you go in and you say alright shop I
21:41
would like to purchase this suppressor I
21:44
would like to purchase this suppressor
21:46
to place it on my 22 caliber handgun a
21:51
very small caliber and gun that is very
21:57
quiet to begin with but I would like to
21:59
make it a little more quiet maybe maybe
22:00
to train my kids how to shoot maybe to
22:02
just have fun whatever it is maybe just
22:05
shoot some vermin out in the yard
22:06
whatever it is your prerogative so you
22:09
go ahead and you spend the couple
22:11
hundred dollars
22:13
um you go ahead and you spend a couple
22:15
hundred dollars and you buy that
22:16
suppressor because the suppressors are
22:18
not cheap by any means
22:19
despite the ease of which you can
22:22
replicate them despite the ease of which
22:24
you can manufacture one they’re not very
22:26
cheap so you buy one do you get a walk
22:29
home with her that day no no not at all
22:31
you first because the NFA National
22:34
Firearms Act has prevented them from
22:37
being sold with ease you have to give
22:41
them $200 hey government here’s $200 I
22:44
would like to purchase this can I have
22:46
this can I have it
22:47
well no no hold on we need your
22:49
fingerprints all right so now you have
22:51
to give your fingerprints you didn’t
22:52
have to give your favorite prints when
22:53
you bought a firearm but you have to do
22:54
when you go when you go to the
22:56
suppressor all right now we got that now
22:58
we need your permission to do a
22:59
background check now we’re gonna go into
23:01
your background hmm so they start
23:03
digging through your background like all
23:04
right sweet it’s gonna be over soon I’m
23:06
gonna be able to get my fire or my
23:07
suppressor here in a minute and then go
23:10
all right you’re going to wait eight to
23:11
twelve months
23:15
so I got a firearm
23:19
just picked up audit three days ago but
23:21
in order to make this firearm quiet a
23:23
little more quiet I have to wait eight
23:26
to twelve months Oh
23:29
after giving the crown two hundred
23:31
dollars for permission preserve my
23:34
hearing
23:37
now going back to this event the shooter
23:44
was using a 45 caliber handgun and had a
23:48
fixed onto it a suppressor
23:51
the media has gone insane of course cuz
23:55
the media doesn’t care about the truth
23:57
behind what these things are they don’t
23:59
care about how it works
24:01
sure there’s people that didn’t
24:02
understand what the sound was uh you can
24:05
have gunshots and people go oh what is
24:07
that you know what’s banging what’s
24:08
going on
24:09
it’s it’s never it’s never something
24:14
that’s clear for people unless you’ve
24:15
been around in that environment so with
24:18
this event he had a suppressor I was
24:20
going on he had a suppressor he was
24:23
firing around there was one person I
24:25
thought it was a nail gun
24:26
regardless killed 12 people and the
24:29
media has gone insane about this and
24:31
they had actually asked President Trump
24:34
the suspect in Virginia Beach shooting
24:37
used the silencer on his weapon do you
24:39
believe that silencer should be
24:41
restricted if you believe that President
24:45
Trump took the stance that he took when
24:50
he was on the campaign trail and he
24:52
promised us you guys need a strong
24:55
defender of the Second Amendment you
24:56
guys need someone that’s gonna come in
24:58
and fight to restore your Second
25:00
Amendment rights
25:01
that’s gonna fight to restore your
25:03
ability to protect yourself to defend
25:05
your life your Liberty your pursuit of
25:08
happiness
25:11
I’m gonna be that person for you if you
25:14
believe that you took that stance or do
25:15
you believe that he took the bump stock
25:17
stance John feel free to ask your
25:19
question well he took the bump stock man
25:23
stands he says I don’t like them at all
25:27
now this is where he is actually gone
25:29
contrary to what his son is taken his
25:32
son Donald Trump jr. Donald Trump jr. is
25:37
one of those advocates for the hearing
25:39
Protection Act
25:41
he has been a supporter of this Don
25:44
Junior Second Amendment supporter
25:47
president Trump single-handedly passed
25:50
more gun control than his gun control
25:54
advocate predecessor President Obama
25:57
President Obama has opened up through
26:00
Congress utilizing Congress has opened
26:03
up two different bills in order to open
26:06
up gun regulations to enable you to be
26:09
able to carry in national parks and to
26:13
be able to carry
26:16
or to be able to have your weapons on
26:18
you in your luggage when you take a
26:21
train
26:23
president Trump has made ten-year felons
26:26
for somebody owning a firearm accessory
26:28
called a bump stock now a foam bump
26:31
stock can be simulated by utilizing just
26:33
your finger and your belt loop but
26:36
nonetheless if you have that piece of
26:37
plastic you have that piece of rubber
26:38
you have whatever it is that you need in
26:40
order to achieve the bump stock status
26:42
and you are found out you are a ten-year
26:44
felon and now
26:48
pardon me it doesn’t look like president
26:50
Trump is in favor of the silencers
26:52
either either or with the suppressors so
26:57
what a sensories does President Trump
26:59
like and we asked him how he feels about
27:01
I don’t know magazines and we asked him
27:04
how he feels about scopes where is it
27:08
my question is okay let me let me go to
27:11
John’s question real quick John’s
27:12
question is okay thanks my question is
27:14
despite the Republican Democrat
27:15
differences don’t you think the number
27:17
of shootings is alarming and that we
27:19
need to do something I do I do think
27:22
that the number of shootings are
27:23
alarming I think that there is a serious
27:25
issue here within the Society of America
27:29
I think that we have we have ignored the
27:31
histories of the past we have ignored
27:34
the truths of what other countries have
27:37
undergone and that is that just because
27:40
we advocate for gun control does not
27:42
make the people safer now the the
27:44
aspirations the desires or controlling
27:48
weapons controlling what kind of weapons
27:50
controlling the ways in which people
27:52
obtain their weapons this is all well
27:55
and good when it comes to legal legal
27:59
people but the problem is is that
28:00
there’s a black market whenever you
28:02
regulate whenever you control whenever
28:04
you prohibit the sale or the transfer or
28:08
the use of certain things that instantly
28:11
pops up a black market we saw this with
28:14
prohibition it would be no same for
28:16
firearms would be or be no different
28:18
with firearms there’d be no different
28:20
than with drugs we’ve seen this time and
28:23
time again so when it comes to the
28:26
number of shootings what we have to look
28:28
at is there’s a lot of really good
28:30
statistics out there to really focus on
28:32
in order to get a better understanding
28:34
of how these work
28:35
now the municipal center that was just
28:38
shot up this was in a gun-free zone
28:41
much like 98% of mass shootings they
28:46
happen in gun-free zones so it’s not a
28:48
matter of of there’s too many guns out
28:51
there it’s a matter of when you create
28:54
when you legislate slav a soft spots you
28:57
have lawless people who
28:59
multiple crimes in order to kill others
29:03
ignoring those laws and you have those
29:06
who abide by the laws those who believe
29:09
that the government has your best
29:11
intentions are hard
29:13
that are defective fenceless
29:17
and ultimately killed so
29:21
I am of the belief that an armed
29:23
populace is a defended problem populace
29:27
you thinking gun control is not
29:29
effective what are your solutions then
29:31
other thing kind of gun control is is
29:33
absolutely what it says it’s control
29:36
what it is is the controls who’s allowed
29:38
to and who’s not allowed to when you
29:41
have those level of controls the
29:43
question becomes is how do we implement
29:45
those if you say mentally unstable now
29:48
who gets to define what mentally
29:50
unstable is oftentimes they’re not going
29:52
to be addressing to to actual people
29:57
within the field and even when you
29:59
address those people in the fields they
30:00
may be overstepping their boundaries or
30:02
they may not be going far enough in the
30:04
opinions of many so that means that
30:07
there’s going to be innocent people
30:09
they’re going to be having their guns
30:10
taken away or prevented from from
30:14
getting those and so there’s a huge
30:15
issue so my
30:18
my hope is that what we can do is we can
30:23
follow along right with school shootings
30:25
are extremely hard right because it’s
30:32
innocent children being killed
30:35
look it’s schools across this country
30:38
that have placed signs in front of their
30:41
schools saying that the teachers are
30:42
armed regardless on if the teachers are
30:45
actually armed or not
30:48
there’s not been one of those schools
30:52
that has had a school shooter
30:56
when we look at the poll shooter from
30:59
the polls Club down in Florida when we
31:01
look at the way that he had gone through
31:05
that event
31:06
it was made clear that he went to
31:10
multiple bars that night prior to going
31:13
to the polls club and when he the reason
31:17
why he picked the polls club I believe
31:19
if I recall correctly it was the fourth
31:21
bar that he went to that night the
31:24
reason why I picked polls was because
31:26
that was the one that did not have armed
31:28
security
31:30
so if we have a populace that is enabled
31:35
and encouraged to be able to defend
31:37
themselves much like with Switzerland is
31:40
maybe just maybe there be a lot less
31:42
there be a lot more there be a lot less
31:47
trusting that when you break into
31:49
somebody’s house that when you shoot up
31:51
a mall a school a government building
31:56
such as this that we may be able may be
32:01
able to have those people with those bad
32:05
intentions not trust that they’re going
32:08
to be able to complete their objective
32:10
whatever it is do you think teachers
32:14
would be comfortable in carrying guns in
32:16
class what if they refused so the
32:19
purpose of this is not to force anyone
32:22
into carrying a firearm
32:24
there’s the purpose of allowing teachers
32:26
to arm themselves is for teachers and if
32:29
they if they want to put some
32:32
ridiculous standard and say you have to
32:34
go through X amount of hours of training
32:36
the X amount of this X amount of that
32:38
get these certifications yada yada yada
32:40
then that’s fine but the idea is that
32:43
you enable them to exercise their right
32:46
not to not to prohibit them and to leave
32:49
them as well as their students unarmed
32:51
you allow them the opportunity so
32:56
anyways I’ve got to continue on I do
32:59
appreciate your questions there Joan so
33:03
this the shooting when the media gets
33:07
all hyped up about the silencers and the
33:09
suppressors when Donald Trump says I
33:12
don’t like them
33:15
it’s not a good day for the Second
33:17
Amendment it’s not a good day for
33:19
hearing protection it’s not a good day
33:21
for for hunters it’s not good for
33:26
competition shooters you know these are
33:28
these are people that utilize the
33:29
suppressors quite frequently because if
33:33
you’re hunting you want to be quiet as
33:35
possible
33:35
these don’t these are not your Hollywood
33:37
suppressors they’re not shooting out of
33:41
a 50 Cal right that you still have a
33:43
large boom you still have a large amount
33:45
of gas that is being moved regardless of
33:50
whatever size it is and thank you and
33:56
and so looking to constrict this looking
34:00
to be able to straw man and take away
34:04
bit by bit this is what the gun control
34:07
crowd has always been doing it’s not
34:09
it’s not a leap forward and taking all
34:12
of your guns it’s taking your guns one
34:14
bit at a time take away this person’s
34:16
right take away that person’s right take
34:18
away this gun take away that accessory
34:20
take away this than any other and down
34:22
the slope we continue on eventually we
34:24
may look look may look a lot like
34:27
Britain or maybe even Venezuela where
34:29
our own government is trampling us with
34:31
with different vehicles it’s a it’s a
34:35
scary scary world and seeing Trump’s say
34:37
that about I don’t like them in
34:40
reference to suppressors it really does
34:43
it hurts me
34:45
it really genuinely irks me
34:49
I wish that his promises I wish that his
34:54
promise on the campaign trail actually
34:56
held some weight whatsoever
35:02
hmm speaking of waiting
35:07
I know wait with it with the e I ght and
35:11
now we’re gonna go into the wait the W a
35:13
AIT we’re gonna have to wait a little
35:18
while down in Texas Austin Texas the
35:23
governor just passed a bill banning
35:27
red-light cameras now what we’re gonna
35:28
have to wait on is that there are some
35:31
some cameras companies that are
35:34
privately owned that have contracts with
35:38
those cities and so these ones are not
35:41
gonna be able to go away but the more
35:43
important part on Saturday afternoon
35:45
Greg Abbott
35:46
governor Greg Abbott announced via
35:48
Twitter that he had signed a piece of
35:50
legislation that bans red light cameras
35:52
statewide
35:53
what’s a red-light camera you may ask if
35:55
you guys live out in the in the woods
35:57
live out in the sticks red-light camera
35:59
of course is one of those cameras that
36:01
as soon as it turns red if you are in
36:04
that intersection you’re safe but if you
36:06
go into that intersection after the time
36:08
of which it turns red they snap a
36:11
picture and they send you the feet they
36:14
send you the ticket I’ve been opposed to
36:19
anything like this like speed trap
36:22
cameras red-light cameras these things
36:26
have always been deemed to be
36:27
unconstitutional by many people who
36:30
agree with or have really embodied the
36:34
tenor of that compact because one of the
36:38
things is is that you’re supposed to be
36:39
able to face your accuser you can’t face
36:41
your accuser if your accuser doesn’t
36:43
have a face and certainly cameras
36:45
emulate that they do you could try to
36:47
personify them and say they have a face
36:49
and that’s their big one eye but simply
36:53
don’t this red-light camera thing that’s
36:56
a beautiful thing and it was it was
37:00
House House bills 1631 passed the US or
37:04
the Texas Senate 23 to 8:00 in mid-may
37:07
and he had until June 16th to sign into
37:10
law or to veto it
37:13
well he made that deadline and he passed
37:16
it in red light cameras violate the
37:18
right to due process guaranteed under
37:20
article 1 of the Constitution by
37:21
creating a presumption that the
37:22
registered owner of the car committed a
37:24
violation when in fact that might not
37:27
have been the case so that’s that’s
37:29
their justification deny I like that I
37:31
like that justification you give your
37:33
your buddy your car he’s driving down
37:36
the road he’s texting and driving
37:38
because you know he doesn’t care about
37:39
your property burns through a red light
37:42
and you get the fine for it now you
37:46
don’t trust him and now you also have
37:48
paid a fine good for them to get rid of
37:50
that these cameras
37:54
um
37:57
ka KXAN who wrote this article research
38:02
found that there was no official
38:04
engineering study for cameras and nine
38:05
intersections in Austin and the cameras
38:08
had produced 5.6 million dollars in
38:11
fines for the city in over eight years
38:13
these sound like revenue schemes don’t
38:15
they it sounds like the government is
38:17
always trying to find ways again getting
38:19
more revenue to get more money coming in
38:21
for your safety for your safety mind you
38:24
those two seatbelt tickets you pay these
38:27
funds if you don’t want to pay the fines
38:28
will throw you in jail and if you don’t
38:30
want to go to jail we might have to beat
38:31
you on the way in don’t worry it’s about
38:33
your safety
38:34
this right here it’s just that right
38:37
five point six million dollars in fines
38:39
over eight years hmm that’s over half a
38:43
million a year that’s that’s good
38:46
abundance of money it’s good to see them
38:48
getting rid of this the law banning red
38:51
lights cameras will go into effect after
38:52
September 1st but some cameras may not
38:55
be removed immediately because in an
38:57
amendment that lets cities keep them in
38:59
place until contracts with private
39:01
companies expire
39:06
that’s some exciting stuff always
39:09
exciting it’s nice to see and I always
39:14
cherish it I cherish it absolutely
39:16
cherish it whenever we see a government
39:18
getting smaller whenever it takes away
39:21
one of its revenue streams whenever it
39:23
gets out of your life and allows you to
39:27
be free here is another topic that I
39:32
wanted to cover with you guys on Friday
39:34
night and as the horrible show hosts
39:37
that I’ve been for you guys I slipped on
39:39
it I didn’t give it to you
39:43
this was the Trump tariffs now III I
39:47
know I sound like a deranged but
39:50
somebody with Trump derangement syndrome
39:52
tonight two big topics that I gotta hit
39:54
Trump for if you guys have been
39:56
following me long enough you guys know
39:57
I’m objective with with Trump I stay
39:59
when he’s right I say when he’s wrong
40:00
and on both of these stances there I’ve
40:03
seen already so much defense for tariffs
40:06
that we have to hit it once more once
40:08
again one more time again one more game
40:11
all right so Trump’s tariffs on Mexico
40:14
import would be biggest tax increase in
40:17
decades
40:18
if the tariffs ramped up all the way to
40:21
25 percent as Trump has threatened they
40:23
would be the biggest tax increase since
40:26
1968 yes the President of the United
40:29
States that passed the tax cuts and job
40:32
sacks which I loved and hoped that they
40:34
would continue down that trend of
40:36
cutting our taxes making it cheaper for
40:38
us to live giving us more of our
40:40
paychecks allowing us to spend it the
40:42
way that we want to that same president
40:46
has imposed tariffs worldwide he has
40:52
been in the tariff war with China and
40:54
there’s no signs of its stopping there’s
40:57
been a slight hiatus for a little while
40:59
there’s been a pause
41:02
but now it’s back on and it’s ramping up
41:04
and it’s continuing to go and now he’s
41:06
threatening it against Mexico now why
41:09
are we going after Mexico what is the
41:11
purpose behind going behind after Mexico
41:13
for this well if Mexico is not doing
41:15
enough on their side of the border to
41:17
prevent people from immigrating into our
41:19
country then we shall impose arives
41:24
now the first one is five percent and
41:26
then it goes up to I believe it was let
41:28
me pull it up the five percent import
41:32
tax is scheduled to take first on June
41:33
10th so in seven days would push this
41:36
cumulative cost of Trump’s trade war
41:38
ahead of the 1993 tax increase signed by
41:40
the I believe that this goes up every
41:45
five percent for every couple every
41:48
couple weeks or months up to the maximum
41:50
of 25 percent and if it gets to the 25
41:53
percent that is a permanent a permanent
41:57
25 percent totally decides to swing it
42:00
away I wanna I want to read this article
42:05
for you guys this is from reason this is
42:07
where I’ve been pulling this information
42:08
about President Donald Trump is about to
42:10
challenge Bill Clinton in Lyndon Johnson
42:15
all right let me see if I can blow this
42:18
up for you guys a little bit and swap it
42:20
on over here
42:23
president Donald Trump is about to
42:25
challenge Bill Clinton in Lyndon Johnson
42:27
for record few Republicans would want to
42:31
achieve
42:31
if Trump falls there is his plan to hit
42:34
all Mexican imports with tariffs the 5%
42:37
import tax is scheduled to take effect
42:38
on June 10th would push the cumulative
42:41
cost of the Trump’s trade war ahead of
42:44
the 1993 tax increase signed by then
42:47
President Bill Clinton hmm
42:52
the tariffs imposed by the Trump
42:54
administration would generate 69 billion
42:56
dollars in federal revenue over a full
42:59
year well then to about point three
43:02
percent of GDP
43:06
hmm so we are fighting over pennies
43:10
we’re fighting over pennies on this one
43:14
thing that is unequivocally clear and I
43:17
want to make it just as clear for you
43:18
guys
43:19
whenever you impose a tariff on a
43:21
foreign country what is that that is a
43:24
tax on you the consumer if I were to say
43:28
anyone who buys from Walmart Walmart now
43:32
has to spend an extra five percent let’s
43:35
just let’s just use numbers five dollars
43:38
every transaction Walmart does they have
43:40
to give $5 Walmart is not going to sell
43:43
you the gum for $1
43:45
Walmart is then gonna say our average
43:49
consumer does this amount and this is
43:51
the the average and so we’re gonna bump
43:53
up all the prices of all of our goods to
43:55
make it to where you pay for it now of
43:58
course when you have these tariffs the
44:01
idea and much like what we have with
44:03
China is the idea that you don’t you
44:05
don’t go to China for that you don’t go
44:07
to Walmart you go in China’s reference
44:11
that you go to America in my Walmart
44:13
reference you go to Costco he goes
44:16
somewhere else for these goods basic
44:20
economics determines that when you
44:23
reduce the supply but the demand stays
44:27
the same the price for those Goods goes
44:32
up
44:34
so Costco and American goods will go up
44:39
in turn now when those costs of goods go
44:42
up what also follows smaller businesses
44:46
go out so if you’re in favor of if
44:48
you’re a fan of small businesses and I
44:51
happen to be anti monopolies and so the
44:53
only way to be anti monopoly is to
44:55
enable more businesses to enable more
44:58
competition to enable more commerce
45:04
is to oppose these terrors to impose new
45:09
taxation on the economies on the
45:14
Commerce and so these tariffs we are
45:19
learning once again that tariffs are
45:23
attacks taxes are bad tariffs are bad
45:29
and and we can try to justify them all
45:32
that we want to the end result of every
45:36
historical tariff
45:39
doesn’t mean that you the consumer comes
45:41
out on the better end
45:44
Haase living goes up your cost to
45:46
produce goods goes up your cost to
45:48
import goods goes up your your cost just
45:51
the cost of everything goes up it’s not
45:55
to our benefit and so Trump threatening
45:59
Mexico I I I hope that at the by the end
46:04
of this you can look at any time that
46:05
somebody says we’re tariffs in this
46:07
country you look at what is what is
46:10
coming from that country in Mexico is a
46:12
big auto dealer or auto manufacturer
46:16
auto is coming in now they’ve got a
46:19
bigger tariffs now if I want to go buy a
46:20
new car it’s gonna cost more money all
46:22
about used car is going to cost more
46:24
money is there’s less cars than air me
46:27
coming across from the Mexico border so
46:29
it means that those that are being
46:30
produced here they either a have to step
46:33
their game up and with us having wars
46:35
with China over what was the term
46:39
precious metals not precious metals of
46:43
specialty metals with those also being
46:47
attacked and being reduced right we
46:50
can’t manufacture as much so there’s
46:52
there there’s this big giant hurricane
46:55
of just terrible atrocities happening to
46:57
to the to the economy and we can brag
47:00
about the economy of last year and how
47:03
it’s been booming and how it’s doing
47:04
better
47:06
now starts the downfall now I’ll start
47:08
the the when we get into the question of
47:12
bulls there’s been a couple of
47:15
economists that have been calling for a
47:18
big recession to come one that’s larger
47:21
than the 2008 housing market crash
47:26
you have that to worry about nets that’s
47:28
been speculated before Tom came into
47:30
office so you have that big worry you
47:32
have these tariff Wars which is putting
47:34
a lot of people into questioning
47:35
attitudes into wondering how the future
47:37
of the economy is going to go you have
47:41
actions of what actual politics are
47:43
going on you’ve got antitrust issues
47:45
going on you’ve got just general
47:50
overreach of the government in my
47:51
opinion but things that the government’s
47:54
been doing that have been causing
47:57
questioning attitudes of and questioning
48:01
the confidence of the consumers
48:04
we’re moving further into shaky ground
48:07
we’re not getting the stable solid
48:09
ground anymore we’re getting too thin
48:11
ice and somebody it happens to be
48:14
tapping it with a pole and it’s a pretty
48:16
heavy pole and uh you know I hope I hope
48:22
that I am I am trying wolf I hope that
48:28
I’m saying the sky is falling I hope
48:31
that I’m completely wrong on this and
48:33
I’m gonna wake up every day for the next
48:35
10 years 15 20 years 30 years and the
48:38
economy is gonna be doing better and
48:40
better each day I just I don’t see it
48:44
I really just genuinely don’t see it and
48:46
this this threat on Mexico strong-arming
48:50
them through trade punishing the
48:52
American citizens the the commerce here
48:55
in this country because Mexico fails to
48:58
uphold their end of their border really
49:01
does show that we want to we not only
49:03
want to control the people in our
49:05
country but we also want to control the
49:07
people in other countries this is
49:11
it’s worrisome
49:13
I can’t be the only one be worried about
49:15
this right I’m not the only one right
49:19
ah alright now one more big topic you

50:09
news from this evening
50:11
I haven’t had very much time I was
50:14
coming back from physical therapy I I
50:17
just need to take them take a second
50:21
physical therapy is amazing if you if
50:24
you guys have back injuries
50:26
opt in for the physical therapy is if
50:29
you’ve got a good physical therapist and
50:30
and mine certainly is the way she
50:34
manipulates my back I walk out of there
50:36
walking out on cloud cloud 9 it is
50:40
perfection and that that’s what enables
50:43
me to say here talk with you guys about
50:45
all this stuff if not I’d be I’d be
50:47
cooped up like what you guys saw spike
50:50
for a month and a half two months I’d be
50:52
in that same condition
50:55
but nonetheless I’m here so I want to
50:57
read through this with you guys House
50:59
Judiciary Committee launches a
51:02
top-to-bottom antitrust probe of big
51:05
tech now I first want to start off any
51:07
time we talked about antitrust I would
51:10
love to know why it is that the
51:14
government a monopoly gets to dictate
51:19
over other monopolies that break up
51:22
other monopolies but they themselves are
51:25
not susceptible to the laws on which
51:28
they impose I just want equality I don’t
51:31
want this animal farm anymore I don’t
51:33
want it to where everyone is equal but
51:35
some are more equal than others where
51:37
you have you have members of Congress
51:40
calling for gun control calling to
51:43
remove fully automatic weapons entirely
51:47
beyond what the NFA is
51:51
to call for those removals and then yet
51:55
the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
51:58
owns one yet Democrats across the board
52:02
owned firearms they carry their firearms
52:05
because they need their protection but
52:07
we the people are not susceptible to
52:09
that I’m tired of this everyone is equal
52:12
but some are more equal than others
52:14
so this antitrust probe House Judiciary
52:19
Committee said Monday is launching a
52:21
top-to-bottom antitrust investigation of
52:23
the tech industry including Amazon Apple
52:25
Facebook and Google hmm Deeping a crisis
52:29
for Silicon Valley’s largest players as
52:32
they face mounting mounting scrutiny in
52:34
Washington over their power and
52:36
influence the democratic-led
52:37
investigations comes as a Justice
52:39
Department and the Federal Trade
52:41
Commission’s are taking the first step
52:43
towards a political probe of their own
52:44
into Google according to three people
52:47
familiar with the matter regulators have
52:50
negotiated to divide oversight of the
52:52
tech industry between two agencies and
52:54
recent weeks these people said the two
52:56
agencies have also reportedly split up
52:58
oversight of Amazon Apple and Facebook
53:00
so they’re barely splitting it up to
53:02
check this all out that’s good of them
53:04
along the darling of investors and
53:07
politicians the tech industry has come
53:09
under intense pressure amid an array of
53:11
privacy missteps disinformation scandals
53:14
and allegations of anti-competitive
53:16
behavior
53:19
privacy missteps government has been
53:22
guilty of that disinformation scandals
53:24
government has been guilty of that and
53:27
allegations of anti-competitive behavior
53:30
government has been guilty of that let’s
53:32
go through let’s go into those a little
53:34
bit privacy missteps we’ve seen people
53:36
where government officials have released
53:38
unredacted information about providing
53:40
information of innocent personnel this
53:43
has happened time and time and time and
53:44
time and time to time and time again
53:47
disinformation scandals Waco Ruby Ridge
53:53
we can here’s here’s one that not many
53:56
people have heard about and I hope you
53:57
guys will do your research on it
53:59
killdozer there’s there’s there’s so
54:02
many of these these incidents where
54:04
people are doing things and it really
54:06
does become a scandal on the side of the
54:08
government and they just they willfully
54:10
get away from it when it comes to other
54:12
scandals let’s look at what happened
54:14
during the Obama administration we can
54:16
talk about fast and furious
54:20
we can talk about there’s been scandals
54:23
in every single presidential turn
54:28
huh not held liable for that one
54:33
allegations of anti-competitive behavior
54:39
there are many states in which if you
54:43
would like to provide for the needy you
54:46
would like to go to a public place and
54:48
provide food to the poor food to the
54:52
homeless food to people just out of the
54:55
goodness of your heart because you have
54:57
a surplus of food they have a desire for
55:00
food and you would like to give that to
55:01
them
55:02
just donate that to them the government
55:05
says no no no no no no no no you can’t
55:08
give to them and they send their police
55:11
thugs after you
55:13
I was like competition
55:18
we we can go on with the the
55:21
anti-competitive stuff I I’m gonna have
55:23
to digress just to be able to continue
55:24
on industry critics such as
55:26
Massachusetts Democratic senator
55:28
Elizabeth Warren a presidential
55:30
candidate got to make sure you guys
55:31
remember senator Foca Honus presidential
55:34
candidate have called for tough new
55:36
regulations and demanded that the
55:38
companies be broken up tough new
55:41
regulations they want to show us a
55:44
comfort freedom speech that’s that’s the
55:46
basis the industry probe will be
55:49
wide-ranging Rhode Island Democratic
55:50
Representative David Cicilline who heads
55:54
the panel Subcommittee on antitrust and
55:56
is leading the investigation set is
55:58
aimed less at specific companies than
56:00
the tremendous concentration of market
56:02
power held by Silicon Valley’s most
56:04
dominant platforms
56:09
what’s interesting if we look at the way
56:11
that these are all broken down Amazon
56:13
Apple Facebook and Google now Google is
56:16
an infrastructure Google is something
56:18
that is is more than just your web
56:21
browser there are many different ways to
56:24
get involved with Google whether it’s
56:26
your email whether it’s a search engine
56:28
whether it’s a database whether it’s a
56:31
platform people to exchange information
56:34
on whatever it is you have Apple Apple
56:38
is very similar they we all know who
56:40
Apple is Amazon they’re just a giant
56:43
seller they they they provide a really
56:47
good product at a really low price at an
56:51
extremely fast return you know there’s
56:56
there’s oftentimes jokes that you know
56:58
you’ll go out drinking one night while
57:01
you’re drunk you open your phone you
57:03
flip through Amazon you say yep yep yep
57:06
yep you know you buy a bunch of stuff
57:08
you wake up the next day you’re hungover
57:10
and you hear the door knock at noon and
57:13
you’re like oh man it’s already here you
57:15
go out there and you find out you bought
57:16
just the most root random ridiculous
57:19
stuff
57:20
that’s the slight exaggeration it takes
57:22
usually a day after that but nonetheless
57:26
extremely cheap you’re not gonna be mad
57:28
at yourself you’re drunk so very quick
57:31
and it’s a low price or it’s a low price
57:35
and it’s a it’s decent quality stuff
57:37
right you can pick your own quality on
57:39
that and then Facebook Facebook relies
57:42
on Google and Apple
57:44
so they’ve got this tearing right they
57:46
these are four separate entities that
57:49
have got quote unquote the monopoly on
57:51
this and they’ve been able to prevent
57:55
others from getting involved Facebook
57:56
does own Instagram and it owns a another
57:59
couple of social media platforms they
58:02
have kind of an over encompassing
58:05
control over this and so I understand
58:08
the desire to to limit this now one way
58:13
that this we can overturn this one way
58:16
that we can destroy this is by actually
58:18
getting people that are involved with
58:20
freedom that actually value freedom now
58:25
whether that’s freedom of speech freedom
58:27
of association freedom of whatever to be
58:30
able to create an infrastructure like
58:32
Google to enable us to be able to have
58:36
social media platforms like Facebook
58:38
where you can have the all-encompassing
58:43
household goods such as your ipad your
58:47
iphones your your imax your whatever it
58:50
is like apple and be able to sell like
58:53
on amazon that’s the only way that we
58:55
can do this and that that’s by the free
58:57
market when you take the government they
58:58
come in and they start disrupting things
59:01
it doesn’t end well it doesn’t always
59:03
bode well we’ve seen this time and time
59:05
again but
59:10
where are we key areas for the
59:12
investigation include the tech
59:13
industry’s impact on local journalism
59:16
consumer privacy and the ability for new
59:18
startups to enter the marketplace
59:21
new startups they have to align with the
59:24
terms and conditions otherwise Google or
59:26
Apple should never be forced to have
59:29
them on their on their platform one big
59:33
idea that comes to mind was gab Don AI
59:35
if you guys ever heard of gap gap was a
59:39
free speech platform they basically said
59:41
as long as you’re not docking each other
59:43
or making making threats of of each
59:46
other do what you want to do and both
59:50
Google and Apple both prevented it from
59:52
being on their stores they prevented it
59:55
from being easily transmitted through
59:58
their platforms I agree with them owning
60:01
their platforms and be able to prevent
60:02
that but when you when you talk about
60:05
the ability for new startups to enter
60:08
the marketplace I hope that this doesn’t
60:11
turn into that bake that cake once again
60:13
where oh you’ve got a platform you have
60:16
to accept these people I don’t want that
60:18
I want to have an actual free market I
60:21
want to actually see where people who
60:23
value the opinions the views and the
60:27
stances of anyone and everyone to be
60:29
able to be free to associate and to
60:32
speak to enjoy the platforms of others
60:34
that’s what I would like to see and
60:36
maybe maybe one day I’ve got to go pick
60:38
up my own shovel and I got to start
60:39
doing the work myself
60:40
maybe I gotta go to school for that who
60:42
knows but that that’s the way it should
60:43
be going consumer privacy here’s here’s
60:49
the thing that people don’t like to hear
60:51
when it comes to
60:54
your consumer privacy how many people
60:58
take the time to read the terms and
60:59
conditions
61:01
how many people just see it scroll to
61:03
the bottom click I accept and move on
61:05
with our day
61:07
yeah I know all of us are in that last
61:09
category I’m right there with you
61:12
if you’re worried about your privacy
61:17
should be using the platform’s of our
61:19
radium it’s not up to the government to
61:21
tell you to be to protect you from these
61:25
businesses it’s up to you to be
61:27
principled enough to not need someone to
61:30
guide you through this stuff or for you
61:32
to go alright this has the potential to
61:37
have a large enough impact on my life
61:39
that I’m going to sit down and I’m gonna
61:41
go through all of this boring legal
61:44
speak I’m gonna have Google open on one
61:46
page and I’m gonna read the Terms and
61:47
Conditions of Google on the other page
61:49
and I’m gonna just type it in there and
61:51
I’m gonna work through this stuff you
61:53
really care about your privacy you need
61:55
to look into the stuff local journalism
61:58
how is that being affected well of
61:59
course we know how Google algorithms
62:01
work we know how Facebook censor speech
62:03
and
62:05
basically has become a publisher
62:09
despite the what was that online decency
62:14
act I think it was
62:17
where they basically have a protection
62:18
from being a publisher that’s something
62:21
that a lot of people need to start
62:22
looking into is that that online decency
62:25
act so yes they have a lot of control in
62:31
this stuff this isn’t grounds for more
62:33
government it’s not going to be the
62:35
betterment for us it’s gonna actually be
62:37
contrary to what we expect and what we
62:40
hope I don’t I don’t see this I see this
62:44
is the another one of those good
62:46
intentions but the outcome will never be
62:48
what we actually want it to be
62:50
bring back slingshots I’m down but it’s
62:56
I don’t know I’ve never been a fan of
63:01
the antitrust act in the ways that these
63:04
things have been working because the
63:06
intention is always good the intentions
63:08
with anything that anyone ever advocates
63:10
for the government for the intentions
63:12
always good I’m never gonna doubt your
63:14
intentions right when you say look I
63:15
want gun control I understand that your
63:17
intention is that you want to reduce gun
63:20
violence you want to reduce people being
63:21
killed being harmed beam being suicided
63:25
by their own firearms I understand that
63:27
your intent but the problem is that we
63:29
would look at the logic all the way
63:31
through we will see that that’s not the
63:34
end result we don’t see lives being
63:36
bettered by even outright banning
63:39
firearm so like what they have in the UK
63:41
but you actually saw higher increases of
63:43
sexual assault of rape of violence of
63:46
stabbings of bleaching of other forms of
63:49
atrocities and it doesn’t end with the
63:53
the results that you want to
63:56
this antitrust movement this
63:58
investigation I I think it’s gonna be
64:02
the same thing as always and maybe I’m
64:04
just the biggest pessimist maybe I am
64:06
and that’s that’s fine I could be a huge
64:10
pessimist because I don’t trust the
64:12
government because the government has
64:13
never helped anybody genuinely has never
64:16
helped anyone you know who it’s helped
64:17
it’s helped members of Congress become
64:19
wealthy it gave them a means they they
64:22
ceded the powers to themselves and then
64:26
sold that to the bureaucrats for a
64:27
paycheck
64:29
they’ve gained the power over the years
64:32
after administration administration
64:35
they’ve taken that power they’ve ignored
64:38
the shackles of the Constitution
64:42
and they’ve utilized that for their own
64:44
personal gain if you don’t believe me
64:46
look at how many members of Congress are
64:48
millionaires
64:50
ask them how many of them will release
64:52
their tax returns I don’t want them to I
64:54
I don’t want to compel them to but they
64:57
wouldn’t
65:01
and if they would they hide a lot of
65:04
their stuff anyways but that’s neither
65:07
here nor there
65:11
but with that guys
65:14
